Haddy · 03-29-2002, 11:26 AM

4 80's, 1 120, and 1 92

decodeddiesel · 03-29-2002, 11:55 AM

1x 80mm in my PSU, 1x 172mm on my heatercore, 1x 120mm blowing on my cards and VRM, assorted Chipset and GPU small fans. My CDROM and HDD are louder than every fan in the system though

Xel · 03-29-2002, 12:41 PM

Are there 'silent' HDs and CD-ROMs you can buy? My CD-ROM makes this damn whirring noise.. can't.. stand it...

decodeddiesel · 03-29-2002, 01:19 PM

Silent HDDs yes, the Seagate Baracuda IVs are as close to silent you can get due to the fluid bearing design. As for CDROMs about the only thing you can do is get a low speed one and suffer with a slow CDROM.

Cyco-Dude · 03-29-2002, 04:19 PM

3 120mm and 2 80mm clear-bladed fans. (and of course the PSU and GPU fan, but those dont count...)

Kevin · 03-29-2002, 04:34 PM

Tough question... not including internal power supply fans, one computer here has zero. Anothre has eight

. I voted in favor of the Black Ice system though.

cd rom shouldnt make a noise if there isnt a cd in it

Jim · 03-29-2002, 05:01 PM

Six- FIVE if you don't count the PS fan

Two 120 MM on the radiator. (water cooled)
Three 80 MM La1's one in two out- case.
And one 80 MM inside the Antec PS.

10x 120's on the rad, 2x 80's in the psu. the 120's are quieter than the psu's at 7v, but at 12v you are looking at 1080cfm going through the rads.

What a hayden? And you need 10 120MM's?

Jim

Brad · 03-29-2002, 09:16 PM

I don't need 10 of them, I can run passively most of the time, but it's just so I know they are going to cool it all

ECUPirate · 03-30-2002, 12:13 AM

what is a hayden and where can I see one?? post pics pls.

thebigNil · 03-30-2002, 12:42 AM

I have 12x 90mm fans on my rad but I normally run them at 5volts. My gpu fan makes a lot more noise then them.

If only I had money I'd have more stuff then just the cpu water cooled.

Brad · 03-30-2002, 01:33 AM

DDen sells them, but much smaller than the ones I have.

12x 90mm fans, what radiator is that on?

Yeah, I would like to see it too.

And thebigNil, how big is your radiator? Got a picture?

THESE ARE HUGE RADIATORS!

4x80mm 2x60mm 1x50mm

the creature · 03-30-2002, 03:26 PM

I had been awake for houres, when I wrote the post, and now when I got some houres of sleep awake I read the post, some bad choices(?) and english

thebigNil · 03-31-2002, 01:00 AM

The radiator I have is 12"x15" (30cm x 38cm) I got it from a local surplus store for $25 which is good I guess. It is a tube and fin radiator with 1/2" id copper tubes and aluminum fins.

I'll post some pics once I figure out how

.

Brad · 03-31-2002, 01:25 AM

if they are under 65k, just use the proforums to host them

thebigNil · 03-31-2002, 02:00 AM

I tried but the smallest that I could get it was 330kb without it looking bad. I signed up for a pict hosting account but I'm too tired to mess around with it tonight. I'll post the picts that I have tomorrow sometime.
